Dear friends!
\nWe continue to support those who need our help.
\nIn January\u2013February we helped:
\nMatvey Masliy<\/strong>, 10 years old, Ukraine, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation \u2014 with the purchase of regularly required medication.
\nExcerpt from Matvey\u2019s mother\u2019s letter:
\nI am very grateful to your entire team who worked to help Matvey. For the next half year we will be able to live calmly because our boy will receive the medicine that gives him life. I am writing now and tears are flowing\u2026<\/em>
\nDmitry Zheleznov<\/strong>, 16 years old, Belarus, desmoplastic small round cell tumor stage IV \u2014 payment for follow-up monitoring after treatment; Matvey Andrievsky<\/strong>, 12 years old, Ukraine, spastic diplegia \u2014 rehabilitation after surgery; Konstantin Belyansky<\/strong>, 8 years old, Russia, oncology \u2014 treatment payment.
\nThank you for your support!
\nThis month our help is needed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/td>\n

\nALINA KUPRIYANOVA<\/strong>, 13 years old, Krasnodar region\u2014 cerebral palsy, hearing loss, congenital heart defect.
\nSeveral years ago we helped Alina with rehabilitation costs. She was born with a heart defect and underwent surgery on the third day of life. A severe postoperative period with mechanical ventilation for 3.5 months led to multiple diagnoses: congenital heart disease, cerebral palsy, bilateral deafness grade IV, choroidal coloboma. Alina is a disabled child, but her mother raises her alone and never gives up. Finding specialists willing to work with her was extremely difficult, as one diagnosis complicated another. Eventually, foreign clinics helped Alina stand on her feet and improve her condition. Unfortunately, due to vascular problems doctors could not install a cochlear implant. Nevertheless, thanks to rehabilitation she learned far more than predicted: she can sit, stand and even walk holding one hand. She attends a school for hearing-impaired children and is very sociable.
\nIn March they must travel to China for rehabilitation. The family asks for help with travel costs \u2014 about 950 euros.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 
\nHURRY TO DO GOOD!
\nTake care of yourselves and your loved ones!
\nWith warm hugs,
\nAlina Titova<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nANNA BESPALOVA<\/strong>, 3 years old, Khabarovsk region \u2014 bilateral retinoblastoma.
\nWe helped Anya several years ago when she needed surgery and treatment in a Swiss clinic. Thank God, the treatment was successful and now she feels well. Anya is very sociable, loves playing with other children and attends a specialized kindergarten for visually impaired children. Every 6 weeks she must travel to the clinic for examination. The family urgently needs funds for flights. For the next trip in March Anya and her mother need about 900 euros.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
